From Doubt To Certainty

Good sense suppose of all things equally shared,
everyone’s abundance of thoughts much cared.
Those who are most difficult to satisfy,
larger measure of doubt in mental sky.
Sense of reason by diversity and consequence,
some endowed with larger shares and righteous reference.
The well conducted mind by natural equality applied,
likewise to the glories aberration taken as guide.
Wishing of equality in purity of thoughts,
to clearness and distinctness that open mental knots.
Giving fullness to wisdom memories and conduction,
reared beliefs on ethical foundations infirm seduction.
Enfoldment in time for specific growth as certitude,
dualities of soul through dependencies viewed.
Composition and evidence of dependency,
unequal desires and its moral handicap to see.
Dependence of reason instead of revelation,
creating authority issues of great sensation.
The wise being conscious of duality in soul,
working order of eternal certainty as whole.

My Orion

No matter how high I jump I 
can't reach u.
I love u so much but u 
wouldn't digest this because of 
the other little stars that try to 
have my light to at least 
shine.
They were falling in the 
blackhole.
Remember the blackhole 
absorbs all the light like 
drowning man trying to 
destroy.
In my world everything is 
about u, even the big dipper 
points to U.
u're the brightest Rigel, u light 
my life.
Whether I'm north or south 
u're visible everywhere, that's 
why my mind is programmed 
to U.
There may be 7 shiny stars but 
they can't be u, Orion.
Only u have the distinctness to 
appeal to my exciting view.
Trust me, my eyes stay on u all 
through the night no one can 
beat that.
And if staring at other stars 
makes me loose u, hunt down 
insecurity
Because u're incomparable 
with no competition and I love 
none like u.
Nonetheless, I'm ready to 
accept November to April isn't 
the whole year,
One day u'll no longer be 
there and if destiny  has it,
I'll take a place in the sky with 
u 
some day.
